Amid the unprecedented flurry of activity here on UMTailgate.com, allow me to take a moment to introduce you to Aiden Joseph Demski who entered the tailgating world on August 26th.  You may remember him, he won the 2007 UMTailgate.com Tournament Challenge while still in the womb, kicking ass before he could walk. 
His pedigree is impressive.  His [...]

Things that happened while you were out throwing cell phones:

As reported earlier, Carlos Brown may be back sooner than later. (Local Briefs: Detnews)
Hey, we just might be overrated! (Florida State Wins Poll, UM 8th: Detnews)
I will soon be crossing my fingers and turning away from the field when Jason Gingell trots on to [...]

The Monday injury report, which is often just ripped straight from the Angel over at the Detroit News, was named after injury prone Ryan Mundy.  You might be surprised to find that Ryan Mundy transferred to West Virginia, using the odd NCAA rule that allows a graduated athlete with eligibility remaining to transfer without penalty to [...]

Found a better link to the article on tailgating that appeared in the Orlando Sentinel…didn’t notice this quote before:
But why go through all of this hassle, getting to stadiums the night before, taking hours to set everything up, then hours to break everything down and do it all over the next week?
“I love the people, [...]

The butterflies are setting in now.  Tailgating equipment has been taken out of storage.  The endless cycle of load-unload has begun.  Propane tanks have been refilled.  Went to Sam’s Club today.  Watched Michigan Replay today.  I love the all-positive preview edition.  Did some menu planning too.  Luau = pork.  But, gotta cover for FryDaddy Frank, [...]

Aiden Joseph Demski as born at 5:15am on Sunday, August 26th.  7lbs.  7oz., and 20 inches.  Kelly, Frank, GrandGodfather and GrandGodmother are all tired…but doing just fine.  Congrats to everyone.  I’m glad he was smart enough to come out before the season started.  Obviously, he didn’t want to miss a game.

The 2007 season marks the 10 year anniversary of Michigan’s last National Championship, and in dubious fashion, it was also the last year before the BCS. And, in fitting NCAA fashion, there was a shared title. As if the NCAA needed further ammo to convince America that the BCS was the answer to our prayers [...]

Yes, I know we are anxiously awaiting the birth of our newest tailgater over in the Chicagoland area, but meanwhile congrats go out to Michigan Man and three-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady and his, um, ex-girlfriend Bridget.  Bridget gave birth to a beautiful (just an assumption) baby boy today.  The boy, now just hours [...]

With about a week and a half before things get pretty serious around here, things just got very serious for a couple of tailgaters…one from the University of Michigan, and one from the University of Virginia by way of South Bend.  The first class event united the two behind enemy lines not far from the Notre Dame [...]
